  were 
  examined, 
  which 
  was 
  done 
  in 
  many 
  phmts, 
  were 
  with- 
  

   out 
  rays. 
  Pursh 
  (Flora, 
  p, 
  529), 
  under 
  S, 
  elongatus, 
  de- 
  

   scribes 
  the 
  form 
  very 
  w^ell 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  characters 
  are 
  given. 
  

   He 
  says 
  it 
  resembles 
  S. 
  Balsamita?, 
  ''but 
  is 
  destitute 
  of 
  a 
  

   ray."^ 
  As 
  the 
  latter, 
  being 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  S. 
  aureus, 
  is 
  com- 
  

   mon 
  in 
  the 
  prairies 
  about 
  Chicago, 
  the 
  resemblance 
  of 
  the 
  

   northern 
  plant 
  to 
  it 
  had 
  been 
  remarked, 
  though 
  this 
  is 
  rather 
  

   taller 
  than 
  the 
  var. 
  Balsamita^, 
  and 
  destitute 
  of 
  its 
  prominent 
  

   rays. 
  The 
  plant 
  has 
  also 
  the 
  thick 
  leaves 
  of 
  var. 
  obovatus 
  

   Torr. 
  & 
  Gray. 
  Pursh's 
  S. 
  foHosusis 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  "Synop- 
  

   tical 
  Flora 
  " 
  under 
  var. 
  borealis, 
  with 
  the 
  range 
  given 
  

   above. 
  Pursh 
  designates 
  as 
  the 
  habitat 
  of 
  his 
  plant 
  '' 
  rocks 
  

   near 
  the 
  banks 
  of 
  rivers," 
  and 
  the 
  special 
  localit}- 
  he 
  men- 
  

   tions 
  is 
  ''Easton, 
  Penn." 
  Evidently 
  this 
  northern 
  plant, 
  

   though 
  referable 
  to 
  the 
  type, 
  partakes 
  of 
  the 
  specific 
  char- 
  

   acters 
  of 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  of 
  the 
  varieties. 
  

  

  Among 
  the 
  plants 
  growing 
  in 
  bogs 
  may 
  be 
  mentioned 
  

   Geum 
  rivale, 
  tall 
  and 
  striking 
  b}^ 
  reason 
  of 
  its 
  large 
  purple 
  

   flowers 
  and 
  heads. 
  Drosera 
  rotundifolia 
  w-as 
  found 
  near 
  

   Marquette 
  with 
  branching 
  scapes, 
  they 
  being 
  almost 
  always 
  

   simple. 
  And 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  localit}^ 
  three 
  sports 
  among 
  Or- 
  

   chids 
  w^ere 
  seen, 
  a 
  fam'il}^ 
  that 
  seems 
  somewhat 
  inclined 
  to 
  

   teratological 
  vagaries. 
  One 
  was 
  the 
  common 
  Calopogon 
  

   pulchellus 
  with 
  a 
  second 
  linear 
  leaf 
  nearly 
  opposite 
  the 
  usual 
  

   smgle 
  leaf 
  it 
  bears, 
  but 
  smaller; 
  another 
  w^as 
  Habenaria 
  

   lacera 
  with 
  a 
  flow^er 
  having 
  three 
  spurs 
  and 
  two 
  lips, 
  one 
  of 
  

   the 
  lips 
  again 
  dividing 
  as 
  if 
  to 
  maintain 
  the^tri-formity. 
  Tw^o 
  

   columns 
  were 
  also 
  present. 
  Pogonia 
  ophioglossoides 
  with 
  a 
  

   radical 
  leaf 
  on 
  a 
  long 
  petiole 
  was 
  the 
  third 
  case. 
  It 
  is 
  the 
  sec- 
  

   ond 
  time 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  this 
  peculiarity, 
  having 
  found 
  a 
  similar 
  

   form 
  at 
  Pine, 
  Ind. 
  

  

  ^ 
  Another 
  Orchid, 
  Corallorhiza 
  innata, 
  remarkable 
  for 
  the 
  

   size 
  of 
  the 
  plants, 
  being 
  from 
  12 
  to 
  14 
  inches 
  high, 
  grew 
  in 
  

   the 
  shade 
  of 
  hemlocks 
  by 
  the 
  borders 
  of 
  Teal 
  Lake, 
  Negau- 
  

   ^ee. 
  It 
  is 
  generally 
  a 
  slender 
  plant 
  but 
  4 
  to 
  8 
  inches 
  high. 
  

   Ot 
  shrubs 
  may 
  be 
  noticed 
  a 
  species 
  of 
  honeysuckle, 
  

   mainljr 
  northern 
  in 
  range, 
  Lontcera 
  hirsuta 
  Eaton, 
  that 
  

   grows 
  on 
  rocks 
  and 
  in 
  moist 
  sandy 
  ground. 
  It 
  usually 
  forms 
  

   ^ 
  chmbing 
  bush, 
  sometimes 
  to 
  the 
  height 
  of 
  20 
  or 
  30 
  feet, 
  or 
  

   ^ore, 
  but 
  specimens 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  '' 
  Granite 
  Range,'' 
  north 
  

   ot 
  Champion, 
  were 
  of 
  a 
  trailing 
  habit 
  for 
  the 
  lower 
  part 
  of 
  

   the 
  stem, 
  the 
  upper 
  part 
  rising 
  from 
  15 
  to 
  24 
  inches. 
  The 
  

   species 
  often 
  shows 
  little 
  more 
  tendency 
  to 
  climb 
  than 
  L. 
  

   glauca, 
  the 
  low 
  shrubs 
  being 
  nearly 
  upright, 
  or 
  partly 
  sup-
